Matt Mullenweg, Final #WCEU Speaker Announcement & Full Schedule Published
This year we have lots of news regarding schedule. After last year, where we had three tracks and many great talks, we decided to try a different approach this year.

Our content team has had a tough job choosing talks as they had to go through more than 300 talk submissions, with many good talks not making the cut.
In the end, we believe you will love the topics we have chosen.
